Hermann Dudley Murphy American, 1867-1945 Mountain Road, Puerto Rico Signed with the artist's device and H. Dudley Murphy (lr); inscribed In Puerto Rico/H. Dudley Murphy on the reverse Oil on canvas 25 1/4 x 30 1/8 inches Provenance: Private collection, New York Hermann Dudley Murphy studied at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (with Otto Grundman and Joseph DeCamp) as well as in Paris at the Académie Julian. Strongly influenced by the art of James McNeill Whistler, he developed an evocative Tonalist style in the 1890s. Interested in broadening his subject matter, in the early 1910s, Murphy began wintertime visits to Puerto Rico. The vibrant coastal atmosphere had a significant impact on his style, as may be seen in Mountain Road in Puerto Rico. Here Murphy captured the landscape saturated in a golden sunlight that gives this quiet, countryside scene an overall radiance. C The Spanierman Gallery, LLC
